NBA To Release Regular-Season Schedule Via NBA TV Special

The NBA tonight will release its '13-14 regular season schedule, while some teams "have already begun releasing their preseason schedules." The schedule will be posted on NBA.com and unveiled during an NBA TV special at 6:00pm ET that "will highlight opening-week matchups and other games of interest" (AP, 8/6). It is a "safe bet" that the revamped Rockets "will be included in that mix" of marquee games (NBA.com, 8/6).
